It was an honor to be welcomed to Villa Firenze by Ambassador @MPeronaci on the occasion of the bilateral on collaborations in quantum, particle and nuclear physics between @ENERGY and @INFN_ . Proud of what we built and our ambitious joint future goals @sqmscenter @Fermilab
🇮🇹⚛️🇺🇸
• From fundamental physics to quantum, IA and next-gen tech, Italy & the US are building the future together💡✨
• A big pleasure to wellcome a brilliant group of scientists & researchers at #VillaFirenze in my first public event in Washington.
Finally our new shiny quantum tool to make the worlds best JJs! #nanofab #qubits @sqmscenter @Fermilab

Proud of the @sqmscenter team results on ultra-high coherence cavity-based multiqudit platform with Fock states up to N=20 with fidelities exceeding 95%, the highest reported to date, as well as two-mode entanglement with fidelities reaching up to 99.9% arxiv.org/abs/2506.03286
other cavity-based excellent work just released includes development of protocols to achieve high-fidelity SNAP gates that are orders of magnitude faster arxiv.org/abs/2506.03034

Good morning from Cortina for the @GoogleQuantumAI workshop on scaling superconducting quantum computing @sqmscenter ai-quantum.cortinadampezzo.i…
exciting coherence values in latest IBM processor
Bringing our first Heron R3 QPU online: ibm_pittsburgh, inside an IBM Quantum System Two in Poughkeepsie, NY.
R3 isn’t a redesign—it’s precision refinement. And it shows:
• T1: 300 µs
• T2: 370 µs
• 2Q gate error: ~5×10⁻⁴ (our best yet)
• Layered gate error 100Q: 3.2×10⁻³
• Readout error: <5×10⁻³
ibm_pittsburgh joins the fleet soon.
Congratulations Cristian!!!
Fermilab has selected Cristian Boffo to be the new project director of the Proton Improvement Plan-II project. @PIP2accelerator will enable the world’s most intense high-energy neutrino beam for @DUNEScience.

It was a pleasure to attend @QuantumTech_ and present the exciting progress the five @doescience national quantum centers made over the past five years! @sqmscenter @C2QAdvantage @QuantumSciCtr @QSAcenter @qnextquantum
It was rewarding to see the over 50 presentations from 5 years of @sqmscenter work this week at the March Meeting. So proud of our accomplishments and excited for our ambitious vision for the future. @Fermilab @doescience
